About the Event

Come party with us at The Hamsterwheel! This will be our 12th idiotic year for this 6/12/24/30 hour event!!! Starting near the Hillsborough County Fairground entrance, runners will make their way outward on the New Boston Rail Trail along the Piscataquog River to the turnaround point at Lang's Station. ALL RACES START in 15 minute intervals AT 9:00AM ON SATURDAY: Runners will return on that trail and turn right onto the gravel service road that runs the perimeter of the fairgrounds. The course is 4.0 miles in total and is largely flat with one minor speedbump....it's scenic and gentle on the legs....A great opportunity for someone looking to try ultrarunning for the first time or for seasoned runners to see just how many miles they can accomplish....

Loop tracking will be handled again this year by Second Wind Timing at the Start/Finish via chipped Bibs. To ensure an accurate total, runners should post their bibs to the FRONT of their bodies (shirt/shorts/pants) and the number should be clearly visible.

Buckles! Heck yeah!! Come run 100 fun miles individually with us and you get the special Hamsterwheel belt buckle with the Zombie red eyes!! Pull off 100 with a team and we even have a buckle for you! It's all about the buckle baby!!

Teams!!!

TEAM ENTRY!! Now you can have a team to run the time of your choice! EACH TEAM MEMBER REGISTERS SEPARATELY. Be sure to include your Team Name during the registration process so we can make sure you're all accounted for. Come and party with us all night long with your friends!! Wear costumes, set up a fun themed aid station, make the Wheel all your own!

PACERS & CREW & DOGS.

Pacers will NOT be allowed for the 6 hour event. 12, 24 and 30 hour entrants can use a pacer after dark (Starting at 5pm) if they wish. Just one pacer at a time with each runner, please. Pacers/Crew must by a food ticket either when the runner signs up for the race or tickets will be available on race day. Dogs will NOT be allowed on the grounds or to participate in the run. Tents and small pop-up tents and canopies and RV's ARE allowed - Please note that Quiet hours are 10pm - 7am. You MAY NOT camp on the grounds prior to the race and may not camp out after the completion of the 30 hr race. All runners/crews must exit the grounds on Sunday. NO EXCEPTIONS

Aid Station / Food / Drop Bags

We will have one central aid station at the Start/Finish and will be supplying a variety of Water, NUUN, Tailwind, Sodas / Fruits / Energy Gels / Food, etc. For the 6/12/24/30 hour runners, we'll have some lunch/dinner options (TBD) (real food - Last year we had soups, pizza, and of course, our world famous Mac and Cheese and Apple Crisp!!) and 24/30 hr runners, you also get breakfast in the morning!
